Tado launches Kickstarter-funded smart AC control

Tado has finally launched its Kickstarter-funded smart air-conditioning system in Europe and the US.

The Smart AC Control unit physically connects to your aircon unit and then talks to your router via WiFi, allowing you to send instructions from an iOS, Android or Windows Phone app. Like Tado’s smart heating system, the Smart AC Control will also pick up on your location and start chilling your living room when you’re heading home.

Tado claims that the Smart AC Control could shave off as much as 40 per cent on your energy bills in those sweltering summer months.

“At Tado we believe in state-of-the-art smart technology that automatically ensures that no energy is wasted. With the new Tado Smart AC Control we’ve created a completely new way to cool our homes.”

With the launch of the Smart AC Control, Tado now lets customers cool their house down in the warm months as well as turning up the heat when winter approaches – Tado says its smart heating counterpart can knock around 31 per cent off of energy bills.

Folks who want to be able to trigger smart home recipes with Tado products can make use of an IFTTT (If This Then That) channel and the Do Button apps to control multiple devices simultaneously with their phones.

You can pick up a Smart AC Control now from Tado’s site for £149.
